others in your network could benefit from knowing. Post a
summary.
• Inspirational: You saw a quote or heard a story that inspired
you and you think it could inspire others.

about it is a great way to allow your network to get to know
you outside of your job.

you need someone who has a particular area of expertise to
help you achieve a goal? By posting about it, you prompt your
connections to promote themselves or recommend others
who would be a good fit.

Volunteer
Experiences, or
Languages

know?

exposure

7. Groups

• Answer them, too
• Make the connection

Right Now: Join a group and answer 3 questions!


8. Contact info

9. Use of Hashtags

1. Be very careful. Hashtags are meant to be an add-on to the actual


content. Don’t believe you can just write hashtags and get away with
it.
2. They are supposed to connect your content with other people’s
content and reach various groups of your interest.
3. Write hashtags that are trending…#8thjuly2019 #imposing #seminar,
… are useless hashtags and space consuming. By the way, Linkedin
algorithm will penalize you through the SEO for overuse or misuse of
hashtags/keywords
4. Post relevant, concise and valuable content with relevant images
